Capacity-Matched Execution Rule — priority selection while tired of restarting

This is at least the third version of the same system, and the previous versions are still recognizable in it.

What is actually scarce here: belief that a system will hold, which each restart spends a little more of.

Do this first. Take the last version, mark each component running, intermittent, or stopped, and restart exactly one stopped component.

Do not do this. Do not design version four. The previous versions were probably adequate and stopped running, which design does not fix.

When two things both deserve this block, how does the tie break? Score on leverage, urgency, energy fit, compounding, and downside, and name the deciding dimension before totalling.

When this framework is the right one. Use it when the block in front of you does not match the state you are actually in, and the choice looks like force it or lose it.

  1. Read your current state honestly and quickly: high, medium, or low. Do not negotiate with it.
  2. Categorize your work the same way, in advance, so the matching does not require a decision when you are already low.
  3. Take work from the matching category. A low block spent on low-category work is a productive block.
  4. Note mismatches. Repeated mismatch at the same hour is a scheduling fact, not a discipline fact.

Worked example: a founder with three unowned items and one investor update due

It is 09:40. The investor update is due Friday, two hires are waiting on a decision that only they can make, and a customer email arrived that will take an hour to answer properly. Nothing on that list has an owner other than them. This is at least the third version of the same system, and the previous versions are still recognizable in it.

Take the last version, mark each component running, intermittent, or stopped, and restart exactly one stopped component. Do not design version four. The previous versions were probably adequate and stopped running, which design does not fix.

The priority selection move is specific: score on leverage, urgency, energy fit, compounding, and downside, and name the deciding dimension before totalling. One component runs and the rest of the intact system is still there, which a rebuild would have discarded.

What to measure. The chosen option and the deciding dimension, recorded each time.

Running Capacity-Matched Execution Rule for priority selection support

Work has an energy profile and so does a block, and a mismatch produces a stalled hour that gets attributed to laziness. Keeping a categorized list means a mismatched block can be filled with work that fits rather than abandoned.

The full set of failure modes for this framework, the evidence to record, and a prompt you can paste are on its framework page. This page covers the part specific to priority selection support.

What this is not. It is not an energy-management theory or a health claim. It is a categorization of your own work plus a matching step.

Evidence that it is working: the chosen option and the deciding dimension, recorded each time.
